Event details

1876. Christopher has made the journey to Norway to complete the important task of mapping the remote mountains. 
1999. Anna is frozen in ice after a skiing accident. Her mind battles to stay alive while her body begins to shut down.
2011. Freija makes an unexpected connection after travelling to Norway to scatter her father’s ashes.
2034. Nichola cheated death when she was saved by a pioneering medical treatment, but still must grapple with mortality.


Spanning centuries and connecting lives across time, Your Last Breath by curious directive is a bold, inventive theatrical journey into the fragile space between life and death. The boundaries between the possible and the impossible begin to blur as the play asks the questions: What does it mean to be alive? Can science truly conquer death? And when faced with our own mortality, what makes us human?
